idea: IL have Il scheme, sir, for getting

1t has but one imperfection. That one
imperfcction is that il includes no device
for LAYING q conduit. But it does provide,

way for getting the wires into the conduit

with which the ferret regards the rodent,

could be saved and used over again. -

Blaine has kissed the barney stone, but
not as a modest young lady of Maine
would do, who leans out of the window
of the old castle, gathers her skirts so as
not to show her feet, delivers the saluta-
ton with a ringing chirp that resounds
all through the crowd Of sightseers and
makes every dude wish that he we're a
blarney stone instead of a block OF wood,
and then recovering herself she prepares
to tell the story for the home market.
Mr.. Blaine kisses the barney stone
with a political movement for the Irish
vote, and draws on the kiss as if he

The Berlin police authorities have long
had a sharp eye on the widely advertised
patent medicines, many OF which have
been officially analysed and found to be
both incnicacious and excessively dear.
In 1883 fifteen Of these were publicly de-
nounced; in 1884, twenty-three, and in
1855 thirty more. Against siXty-one Of
the ~compounders Of these benefactions Of
mankind complaints were entered, and
ten received public warning. lnasmuch,
however, as, according to an old adage,
fools never die out, the project Of police
has recently forbidden the advertising as

Great complaint is being made at the
conduct of a number of kids in Chey-
enne, who, of course. are bound to make
themselves obnoxious and do as much
mischief as possible. OF late one of their
chief objects seems to be the smashing of
windows in vacant houses, and a consider
able amount Of damage has been done
around the city by these unruly young
hoodlums. OF course it is not all of the
boys or kids in the city to whom a%llusion
is made, 1T is only to a certain class. 1t
might be stated however, for the lntorma-
ton of the parents and guardians of this
class that arrangements are being effected
by the police-aided by certain business
men-whereby this class will be watched
in the future, and it is pretty safe to pre-
dict that the first boy caught throwing
stones or other missiles at the windows of
vacant houses in the city will be promptly
arrested and unceremoniously locked up
in the calaboose.

Sheriff Sharpless has been requested by
certain parties to ascertain and inform
them what steps are necessary to be taken
to send a young girl of about Is years of
age to the reform school at Golden, Col.
No names have or will be mentioned by
Mr.. Sharpless as to who the girl is or by
whom the request was made. 1t may be
stated, however, that those who conferred
with the sheriff about the matter were
highly respectable people. Statements
are made in regard to the conduct of the
girl which prove that the contemplated
step in her case would be a wise one.
This is a very sad condition of affairs, and
it is feared that the situation may be
worse before long, and her case should be
borne in mind and attended to by her
friends before it is too late.

a RECEIVER APPOINTED.
r.. :. Van Tasseli to Take Charge of
Roy's Property.

The hearing on the petition for the APP
pointment of a receiver in the case of A.
L. Brown VS.. the Union Mercantile COM
pany ct al, was heard before Judge Ma
ginnis at chambers yesterday. A. G.
Campbell and William Ware Peck APP
p%earing for the plaintiff, and j. A. Riner
and G. w. Sewers for the defendants.
A large part of the day was consumed in
argument. and many authorities were
quoted by opposing counsel.
At the conclusion of the arguments the
court held that the mortgagor, Roy, after
the mortgage had been given to Brown,
and default had been made under its
terms, had only an equitable right of re.
demption in the property, and that his
creditors could have no greater right than
himself, and as this equitable right was
not such an n as would be good against
the legal right to the property such as it
must be assumed the plaintiff has under
his mortgage 1.-THE mortgage for the pur.
poses of this case at least being a good
one), and that therefore the defendants
had no standing in court so far as oppos-
ing the application for the appointment Of
a receiver was concerned. The only ques.
ton was whether the plaintiff had made
the proper showing for that purpose, and
the court thought that he had.
X. S. Van Tassell was appointed as re.
%ceiver, giving bonds in the sum of Sc, 900,
and it is presumed will proceed at once tc
take charge Of the property, and as soon
as he does so the temporary restraining
order against the sale of the property will
be dissolved.
